Abstract
A method and system are provided for associating a user with a wearable device. The method includes: obtaining physiological information of a user of a wearable device; comparing the obtained physiological information against a stored physiological profile, wherein the stored physiological profile is built up over time from obtained physiological information; and, based on the comparison, updating a confidence parameter indicating the extent to which the obtained physiological information matches the physiological profile.
Claims21
A computer implemented method for associating a user with a wearable device, the method comprising:
- obtaining physiological information of a user of a wearable device;
- comparing the obtained physiological information against a stored physiological profile, wherein the stored physiological profile is built up over time from obtained physiological information;
- and,
- based on the comparison, updating a confidence parameter indicating the extent to which the obtained physiological information matches the physiological profile.
A system for associating a user with a wearable device, the system including a memory for storing computer-readable program code and a processor for executing the computer-readable program code, the system comprising:
- a physiological information obtaining module for obtaining physiological information of a user of a wearable device;
- a comparing module for comparing the obtained physiological information against a stored physiological profile, wherein the stored physiological profile is built up over time from obtained physiological information;
- and,
- a confidence parameter adjustment module for updating a confidence parameter based on the comparison indicating the extent to which the obtained physiological information matches the physiological profile.
